Staying up late Friday and Saturday night, but then not being able to fall asleep at a decent hour Sunday night, thereby making me very sleepy for work on Monday.

I can top that. All of the above plus a party going on next to your window. At least I pay less rent for living next to the dorm common rooms...

People who like adding stupid to stupid.

My dad is a teacher and one of his students was confused when he told her, no, you can't take your baby to live with you in the dorm rooms at college.

If I were her, I wouldn't be too worried, because it doesn't sound like college is in the cards...

Awww, why no babies in dorms? They are resilient. I bet he'd get his own little tiny beer bong and it would be SO CUTE.

None of the babies in my dorm ever get beer bongs... (though they do go to the parties that take place next to my window...)

It went into my mouth. It may have exploded a few times, but I ate it. I know because the next day was very interesting.

I remember it took a full day for the food poisoning to kick in once. Not to be confused with food allergies, which tend to be swift and brutal.

It should never take a full day for food poisoning to kick in.

At least, not if it's done properly. :shifty:

Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"

too much food, not enough poison.


I hate not having enough distractions. For instance, I've got a little work to do, and no one is posting here or at CS, I've already read all the comics I read for the day, and the Launch Party synopsis is STILL not up at Northern Attack...

You typically use the word "poisoned" to describe ingesting peanuts.

You sure it was the tacos and not the massive amount of alcohol you had, you fucking lush?

The one time it took a full day coulda been salmonella. It sure was something though.

I use the word poisoned for peanuts because it essentially is poison. But food poisoning is when I'm served tainted food. I geuss I shoulda said food poinsoning.

It was not the alcohol that you gave me. I got trashed like that at Anthrocon and didn't get gastro-intestinal dischord like that. And you're the one that drinks bourbon alone, you pot.

it probably wasn't food poisoning then. it's almost eerie how long it takes food poisoning to kick in. 6 hours, almost like clockwork.
